I grew up in hatred . Nell ' idio for the West , Christians , Jews , the United States of America . I grew up believing that mattered only impose itself , establish itself , if necessary by destroying the enemies . No one ever told me that there was another possibility : turn the other cheek , to respond to the thirst for power and affirmation, destruction and hate, with their antithesis, love.1:2:Sono passati parecchi anni del 13 maggio 1981, giorno in cui ho sparato al papa in piazza San Pietro. Trentadue per l'esattezza, trenta dei quali li ho trascorsi in carcere, fino al 2000 in Italia, a Roma, nelle prigioni di Rebibbia e Tegina Coeli, poi ad Ascoli Piceno e ad Ancona. Nel 2000 ho ottenuto la grazia e, quindi, l'estradizione in Turchia. Ma anche li ho dovuto saldare i conti con la giustizia, fino al 2010, l'anno della liberazione definitiva.Google Translate:
It's been several years of 13 May 1981 , the day I shot the pope in St. Peter's Square . Thirty-two to be exact , thirty of which were spent in prison , until 2000 in Italy , in Rome , in the prisons of Rebibbia and Tegina Coeli , then to Ascoli Piceno and Ancona . In 2000 I got the grace and , therefore , the extradition to Turkey . But even there I had to settle accounts with the law , until 2010 , the year of the final release .

About kayaerbil

I am a Berkeley educated chemistry Ph.D. who is moving into the area of working on developing appropriate technology for communities that are subjected to socio-economic oppression. The goal is to use simple and effective designs to empower people to live better lives. Currently, I am working with Native Americans on Pine Ridge, the Lakota reservation in South Dakota. I am working with a Native owned and run solar energy company. We are currently working on building a compressed earth block (CEB) house that showcases many of the technologies that the company has developed. The CEB house is made of locally derived resources, earth from the reservation. The blocks are naturally thermally insulating, keeping the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Eventually, a solar air heater and photovoltaic panels will be installed into the house to power the home and keep it warm, while preserving the house off the grid. A side project while in Pine Ridge is a solar computer. I hope to learn about blockchain encryption software for building microgrids. In addition, it is an immediate interest of mine to involve local youth in technology education.

Poet: Data, Climate Change, the West, and the Islamic World

I make money any way I can to finish a book of poetry on climate change, the West, and the Islamic World. Been working on this book for eight years. Features a raw and gritty personal story of mental illness. The book explores themes around religion, and tries to place a framework around the current War on Terror/global Islamic fundamentalist jihad. Relates technology and weapons of war to their basic scientific origin, digging deeper to find their mythological sources. Ending with a 500 year time travel journey to illuminate the public on the Islamic origin of Copernicus’s discovery, Arabic language semantics are explored to ask why the West gained a 500 year dominance. Back to 2018, faced with the existential dilemma of climate changed induced geopolitical apocalypse I will compare Islamic finance to Western capitalism and prove it to be superior as a framework for modern ecological economic. All these poems point back to the fight between Ishmael and Isaac. They both will realize that perhaps Ruth or Mary were the ones we should have written more about…
